poser516 home \| projects \| blog 13 posts in 48 days 47 days ago	Is the proper way to get lumber flat by using a jointer to flatten one side and then using a thickeness planer to match the joint on the other side? To get a piece of stick to have two flat, paralell sides,are a thickness planer and jointer the tools for the job? i have nobody else to ask, so thanks for your help.

Scott Bryan home \| projects \| blog 8549 posts in 271 days 46 days ago	A thickness planer will keep two sides parallel. If the reference side is not flat the planer will simply follow the curve of the reference side so if you want lumber that is both flat and parallel then you need to create a flat reference side by taking it through a jointer before planing the lumber. -- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.
